NO one who loves to see an ancient nstitu-

time and the assaults OF iconoclasts can wit.
ness without feeling Of admiration the
struggle Of the regulation dress suit against
the rivalry of new and striking fashions.
This year the dress reformels have been
unusually energetic in their warfare on the
swallowtail coat. In some instances young
leaders of fashion have appeared in evening
coats Of brilliant Colors, rendered all the
more conspicuous by CANDY waistcoats. Even
the form of the time hononed dress coat has
been attacked, and a tailless garment is find
ing more OF less favor in certain quarters.
From modern scientific standpoint 1t may
seem natural that in the course OF time all
coats should lose their tails, but against such
. tendency will not art protest!
But, whatever may be the fate OF the tail,
or the wine colored coat with white vest, it
is we'll nigh certain that the present style Of
evening dress must eventually succumb TO
tho influence OF reformers. There is nothing
more unstable than fashion, and it must be
acknowledged that the regulation swallowtail
has had much longer lease of popularity
than is often granted to any form Of dress

Nor tall white lilies with fragrance rife,
Nor green things gay with the bliss OF growing,
Nor glad things drunk with the wine OF life,
Nor flushing Of clouds In blue sky shining,
Nor soft wind murmurs To rise and fall,
Nor birds for singing, nor vines for twining-

Nor dropping OF boughs by the dimpling river.
Nor nodding OF grass on the windy lawn
Nor tides uuswept upon Tho silver beaches.
Nor rustic OF leaves on the treetops tall,
Nor dappie Of shade In woodland reaches-

But three little hearts that love arc stin.
